Recent studies have reported that patients with chronic kdney desease on hemodialysis are at high risk of acquiring HBV. The research was conducted in three Hemodialysis Centers in the city of Belém, Pará , Northern Brazil . The objective of this study was to describe the prevelence of HBV infection associated risk factors. A total of 298 patients were interviewed in three hemodialysis centers. Serum samples were screened for HBV serological markers by ELISA ( Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay) . A percentage of 26.85 % (80/ 298) of individuals who have come into contact with HBV ( 23/298 HBsAg reagent and 67/298 reagent for anti - HBc Total) was observed . Individuals who have multiple sexual partners , who received blood transfusion , sharing nail clippers and those on hemodialysis for more than five years have a higher risk for acquiring HBV.Acesso AbertoDoenças infectocontagiosasHepatite viral BHemodiálise - Fatores de riscoBelém - PAPará - EstadoDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA::SAUDE PUBLICACNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA::EPIDEMIOLOGIA
